During the week, the hydrocarbon influx reported last week was monitored and controlled before pulling out of hole to change the bottom-hole assembly. A further 104 feet (32 meters) of new formation was then drilled, with a minor hydrocarbon influx observed and controlled at 10,600 feet (3,231 meters). The forward program is to drill ahead to the Euphrates Formation.
